Won't idle.
Got off duty last night and was getting dressed to head home with mine and my partners bike running and mine sounded like it was getting ready to launch. I looked and it was idleing at 2K. Normally it will run a bit high then settle down to 1K-1200 at idle. Ride 25 mins home, pull up to garage and it is still doing it, any ideas? i can roll the throttle forward a tad and get it to drop down. Let go, same thing. It is an 08 SE Ultra.

I read somewhere that with the throttle by wire, sometimes it has a memory of the last setting of the throttle before you shut it off. They said to cycle the ignition switch on without starting the bike and off 4 times, then start it on the 5th and it will reset it.

Yep -- Turn ignition switch ON until the radio kicks in, OFF until the security lights flash -- 4 times. That will reboot the ignition system.
There's a dealer download that supposedly fixes the issue (usually caused by the engine being shut off right after a twist and it "remembers" that speed as idle). I've heard a negative thing or two about throttle latency (this is back in late '08, so it might not be the same anymore) so I didn't do it. But the reset will do the trick for you 99.8% of the time.
